Star Boxing's Joe Deguardia Says Chris Algieri "Clearly
Established" He Is A "Legitimate
Contender" In The Welterweight Division |
|
Star Boxing president Joe DeGuardia says that
Chris Algieri "clearly established himself as a legitimate
contender" in the welterweight division in spite of the 12-round
decision loss to Amir Khan last Friday night (May 29) at
Brooklyn's Barclays Center.
In the most aggressive performance of his 22-fight professional
career, Algieri was moving forward throughout the 12-round tilt,
putting the pressure on Khan from the outset. It was a
courageous effort for the Long Island product during an
action-packed tilt which went to the judges' scorecards. Joe
Pasquale and Benoit Roussel both scored the fight 117-111. But
Don Ackerman's card had it much closer - 115-113 - and many
ringside observers, and those watching on television, scored it
that close (Spike TV televised as part of the Premier Boxing
Champions series).

Renowned heavyweight up and comer Trey Lippe-Morrison
remained perfect as a pro following yet another impressive

Phil Lo Greco Gives His Thoughts
On Porter vs. Broner On June 20 |
|
World ranked welterweight contender Phil LoGreco
(26-1, 14 KO) won a unanimous decision over Rafael Cobos on
March 6, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. This victory followed a
loss to Shawn Porter, who is on the books to face Adrien Broner
June 20 in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand.
Lo Greco sees the Broner/Porter match as an entertaining fight.
“I think it s a good match up,” he said. “The fact that the
weight is 144 makes it more competitive because Broner is the
smaller guy. If Shawn doesn't have weight problems, I give him
the edge. Broner doesn't like to be bullied as we saw with
Maidana. Porter has a better style, but can still bully him.”
